At the height of the international occupation of Afghanistan, two women - Gulnaz, raped and impregnated by her uncle, and Farida, on the run from an abusive husband - are imprisoned on charges of "moral crimes" by an Afghan justice system that is supported by billions of dollars of aid money from the European Union. With This Breath I Fly follows these two courageous women fighting for their freedom against a patriarchal Afghan society, while exposing the complicity of the European Union in censoring their voices, and how the international press - and our documentary - forever alters the course of their lives.
